Created by Speech Remedy founders Joanna Boyer and Terri Tarnoff Snyder, both certified practicing speech-language pathologists, SR-Cognition is one of the most comprehensive, up-to-date, functional adult focused cognitive therapy products on the market today.

Activities and exercises feature realistic everyday scenarios, in real world environments using current cues for memory and language building, daily living and life skills development and reinforcement.

Each card deck features up-to-date images with real-life situations and objects and suggested questions and answers for discussions with the patient. The card decks may be used stand-alone or may be added as a supplement to the SR-Cognition kit.

Speech Remedy’s products can help rehabilitate individuals who have sustained a stroke, traumatic brain injury, cranial resection, tumor, or are suffering from degenerative conditions such as dementia, ALS, or multiple sclerosis and may also aid high school aged individuals with developmental challenges by providing functional and independent life skills training.
